Saratov University scientists have discovered new optical properties related to mammary tumors. A new study reveals that cancer cells absorb light about twice as efficiently as healthy cells, opening new possibilities for diagnosing and treating breast cancer using optical methods.
The study shows that the depth of light passage in tumor tissues increases because its propagation is much less than in healthy tissues. This suggests that the effectiveness of laser therapy may be increased because laser beams can reach deep tissues without damaging healthy cells. This discovery is of great importance not only from the point of view of diagnosis but also from the point of view of treatment.
According to scientists, laser therapy, based on light power, can now be used more effectively in tumors, reducing the risks of splitting. It can significantly change cancer diagnosis and treatment approaches, enabling more accurate and effective treatment.
